This is just old school class politics.

These people are the upper middle class. Well educated, in service industries, not very rich.

There is nothing new about it.

It's fascinating to watch the anti-green brigade parade themselves as virtuous because they aren't green - and, I assume, do little more than satisfy both social and market expectations of behaviour. By delighting in the stereotype of the yup greenie, the feral greenie, the fundamentalist greenie - you thereby release yourself from any kind of obligation except not to be like them. I'm sure you're all incredibly ethical, altruistic and caring.
What a nauseating display.
